> In my /content/ dir is an index.md

Sections, including the home page, should have `_index.md` files instead of `index.md` files.

Example

```plaintext
content/
├── posts/
│ ├── post-1/
│ │ ├── a.jpg
│ │ ├── b.jpg
│ │ └── index.md <-- indicates leaf bundle  
│ ├── _index.md <-- indicates branch bundle / section
│ ├── post-2.md
│ └── post-3.md
└── _index.md <-- home page

```
